new york, new york

it's a wonderful town . . .
oh man. i can't see myself anywhere else. we were in a hotel right on washington square. we saw "movin' out" (more on that in a sec). nyu is amazing. new york. god, i'm just in love with this city. i fit there, truly. i just can't think of a place where i feel so in my element. it's alive, it's international, it's gorgeous, it's sparkling, it's on fire. hopefully some of that will rub off on me.
so "movin' out". it was broadway, so of course it was amazing. but words can't quite begin to describe just how amazing it was. the physical barriers it broke alone were astounding. twyla tharp is beyond genius. the combination of her vision for dance and the ability of the dancers created an experience that i will not forget any time soon. i doubt that i could ever move like that, but i still felt every move in my own muscles - they yearned to dance again. the story was beautiful, moving. it was like going to the ballet, seeing a story played through dance. it's an exciting prospect that dance may be on its way back to the masses through a show like this. the most gorgeous moment was a duet, the main couple, dancing as if together, but on opposite sides of the stage. the beauty of the human body and spirit were perfectly displayed through this show.
